Song with Cards: “Going to the Beach” (Tune: “The Farmer in the Dell”)
I’m going to the beach,
I’m going to the beach!
I think I’ll see a (say a beach item) there,
I’m going to the beach.
Repeat with other beach items, holding up a card with a picture of the item each time.

Song: “The Waves at the Beach” (Tune: “The Wheels on the Bus”)

Up and down, up and down,
The waves at the beach go up and down,
All day long.

The sun at the beach goes shine, shine, shine… (open and close hands)
The crab at the beach goes pinch pinch pinch… (pinch fingers)
The seagulls at the beach go flap, flap, flap… (flap arms)
The clams in the sea go open and shut… (open and clap hands)
